//FC3.Immersed.Hardcore//

WTF is this? ... basically only visual/hud improvements for the singleplayer...

I recommend you to only use this mod over the official (1.04) patch provided by ubisoft.
I suggest you to play in offline mode by adding -offline
as startup parameter to your farcry3 desktop shortcut. (dont know how? google it!)
I'm not providing you any .dll or .exe files, since this will exclude users of the cracked version!
So you have to patch the binary files on your own.
In addition, I've included various sound patches, for easy usage via the binary patcher.
I've not removed any pop up boxes, like reload or interaction messages, because I think they are somewhat usefull.
I highly recommend to turn of all the hud elements in the ingame menu.
Read the Installation Instructions below.
Don't play multiplayer with this Mod. Enjoy the game!

---------------------

//Links and additonal Informations//

---------------------

There are additional sound patches available in the "lib/sounds" directory of the mod folder.
If u want to use them, simply copy them into the "patch" folder, also located in the "lib" one..
Then run the binary patcher and select the sound patches u wish to use!

I wont add any other gameplay or balance fixes, like weapon mods or unlock features.
Don't ask for them. This is a pure visual mod. If u want them added, merge it by yourself.
